bad luck is not my friend

 

I know bad luck/ bad luck is not my friend/ I know bad luck/ it happens time and time again/ another day where it looks like I'm never gonna win/ I know bad luck/ bad luck is not my friend

you know hard times/ I hear at some point they end/ bad luck is not my friend/ but it's not just something/ that happens every now and then/ hope can be/ just another way to pretend/ I know bad luck/ bad luck is not my friend

(bridge) bad luck comes when you don't expect it/ if you accept it/ you should reject it/ bad luck comes when you don't expect it/ and it's coming to you right now

I know bad luck/ bad luck is not my friend/ i know bad luck/ and it feels like it's never gonna end/ but sooner or later/ happiness finds me again/ but until then/ bad luck is not my friend

one day everything changes

 

one day everything changes/ today will be that day/ the chain of command rearranges/ and all that I can say/ is somehow, something worked out/ and better days are soon to come/ one day everything changes/ and this day has just begun

I'm back!

 

My computer is busted. I mean, like, really broken. That's why I haven't written in forever long.  I am learning this chromebook, which is frustrating but it's a lot better than nothing. I don't know whether I'll be able to change the font on this. I'm really a beginner, but it works. Hopefully I'll be writing more. I've continued to write, just physically doing it, you know? Anyway, I'm really glad to be connected again and writing again. I wish I had something more profound to say, but I don't have anything. Maybe I will when I get more comfortable using this machine. I hope so.

justice is missing

 

there are no consequences/ for anyone anymore/ if you are white/ you know who's keeping score/ if this is my country/ justice is missing/ what you get depends on/ whose ass you are kissing/ nothing will happen/ to those who have harmed us/ more current problems/ that never cease to alarm us/ in the name of our country/ the future moves on/ justice is missing/ where has it gone?

witness

 

will you be my witness/ will you remember every name of every person/ who tried to destroy our country/ with their lies and their guns and their hate/ will you be my witness/ will you bring to justice all the people/ with weapons in their hands/ whose mission is to break/ every ounce of freedom/ we have fought for all our lives/ will you be my witness/ will you help us survive

my imagination

 

I am longing/ for a past I've never known/ memories of some place/ that never was my home/ people around me/ like none I've ever known/ of course they don't exist/ nothing could be as good as this

in my imagination/I picture everything the way it ought to be/ it's a situation/ where I am anyone but me/ it's there for the taking/ any fool could plainly see/ my imagination/ has nothing to do with me

a dream that's worth dreaming

 

I miss living in the great big city/ people around me, going where they will go/ it's a crying shame and a pity/ there are possible friends who I'll never know/ I lived alone in a lonely apartment/ where nothing happened except the paint on the wall/ now I live by a small-torn freeway/ I always see it and it's all/ that I can do/ to tie my shoes/ and find a dream/ that's worth dreaming
